What is PointsBetting at PointsBet?

PointsBetting is the new betting feature that PointsBet allows you to utilize.

Instead of having fixed odds, with PointsBetting, the amount you can win or lose is strictly based off how much your bet wins or loses. PointsBetting is offered for all of the four major US sports.

Here’s how it works: Say you bet $10 on the over in the Lakers-Celtics game with the line at 200 points even. If the total hits 215, obviously you are a winner. However, since you covered the line by 15 points, that is multiplied by your wager so that your payout then becomes $150.

On the other side of the coin, let’s say in the same betting scenario the over does not hit. There are only 195 points scored; thus you lost your wager. Since you missed hitting the over by 5 points, that is also multiplied by your bet, resulting in a loss of $50.

PointsBetting creates an exciting new way to gamble on sports that is both high risk and high reward. It also keeps the entire duration of games interesting since every point officially matters to you.
